This is a slick deal, if your computer can handle usb 2.0 it can handle 3.0. Its backwards compatible. You will only get usb 2.0 speeds from a usb 2.0 slot though, so this 3.0 drive will work no faster than a 2.0 (assuming both revolve at the same rpm but dont mind that).
In short, its slick, will be FP today. $50 for 500gb is not bad at all, if you want twice the space for $20 go for it (I say why not). I've had this drive, its small and matte finished, not glossy that scratches as soon as it moves across any surface. SO BUY UP while you can. |

I have been on the hunt for a decent portable drive as well and this is the lowest I have seen, yet. This and the Buffalo MiniStation that was posted earlier - same price.
As suggested above, the bare bones (no embedded software) is a big plus, especially if you want to use it with a Mac. |

Looks like tigerdirect has it too:

For non-techies like me, will the fact that it comes with no software make it complicated to back up my computer? I see lots of post of people wanting to wipe embedded firmware, but being at the low-tech end, I don't mind help...

It is easier to ask for foregiveness than permission
and flavour of the day......greedy bastards "We can't continue to have a system where Wall Street executives privatize the gains and then socialize the losses. Accountability needs to be a two-way street," update let's toast the executives at AIG for doing such a great job by granting them bonuses.......absolute crap and again no accountability..... |
